When the gas level exceeds the preset level, alarms actuate including a pulsing audible alarm tone, flashing LED, and a vibration alarm. The alarm functions for toxic gases include a Time Weighted Average (TWA) Alarm and a Short Term Exposure Level (STEL) Alarm. Other features include AUTO CALIBRATION and self diagnostic capabilities, a HOLD function that displays the lowest level detected, and user adjustable high and low ALARM SETPOINTS.
